Eric Rougier

I am associate professor of economics at the University of Bordeaux and researcher in the GREThA. My research deals with labour and capital international mobility, their determinants and effects, notably on developing and emerging countries. In most of these works, I could use panel data and gravitational empirical approaches. More recently, I have started working on national productive systems by using the tools of network analysis, with a focus on the way network characteristics translate sectoral shocks into aggregate volatility a well as on the impact of global value chains on developing and emerging economies.

Karine Onfroy

Research engineer at GREThA – UMR CNRS 5113, the « Groupe de Recherche en Économie Théorique et Appliquée » of Bordeaux University (France), where she  supports GREThA’s projects.  Her technical expertise in collecting all sorts of data (qualitative and quantitative), building datasets  to exploit them has led her to work first in Paris in various companies on diverse topics related to the marketing, local economy, tourism and actuarial. After these experiences, she joined the city of Bordeaux and the stimulating research environment.

She participates in lots of competitive GREThA’S research projects. For example, she contributes to building a strong French research base on university technology transfer with various datasets including WOS, but also to develop a database on the french trade flows (19th century). As she also likes qualitative study, she is conducting interviews with R&D managers and patent inventors to study how resources (especially human) local or distant are coordinated (in France and India).

She currently supports to the GREThA’s activity, indeed she is an editorial secretary for « Agitateurs d’idées : when the research dialogue with citizens» (http://agitateur-viainno.fr/) and she also manages for the laboratory the project « Open archives » supported by the University of Bordeaux (GREThA is one of the pilot sites).

Today, she’s very excited to join the ambitious TKC project and its team. It would be a good opportunity for her to work on migration, to discover and build original data.
